At this point, I shouldn't be surprised any more, I guess.

It could be error on their end or perhaps it got hacked by /V/. It been ages since that guy did something. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

So in this I trust bit more organization that has run over 10 years and has won several awards from reputable sources and has official charity status over anonymous twitter account. But only evidence to any direction is that all 27 domains in server in IP address 69.167.140.175 which host most AbbleGamer's domains return blank page.

Volourn Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 "y cases of discrimination and bigotry that exist in various forms. And if we just keep quiet we don't help the problem" SJWs are the biggest problem. They hate women. They harass, they destroy, they rape, they control women. That's their goal. They see women as weak. They go out of their way to ruin women by trying to get them fired and making sure they scare all potential female game developers out of game development. How can you defend such a nazi like group who loathe women? Gamers don't hate women. Because gamers ARE women. Gamers are anti murderers. "Minor point, but I for one would prefer it if Volo DIDN'T volunteer for a battered women's shelter. Those women have suffered enough." That's right. Accuse the guy who has never abused a woman (or a man) in his life with commiting abuse. That's the internet for ya. Making bullcrap up. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Blarghagh Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 He's not accusing you of abuse, he's saying your personality is insufferable. I'm not going to accuse AbleGamers of faking a DDoS. That claim seems extremely flimsy. However, nobody I know involved in #GamerGate has any clue what happened either. If it's a #GamerGater, it's not an open one and it's also not a very intelligent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard anything about it till right now. /edit: Just googled it a bit more, and it seems to be just some random BS? No idea.

Namutree Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 https://www.change.org/p/ea-games-remove-anita-sarkeesian-from-mirror-s-edge-2-game-development/share So apparently Sarkeesian is somehow involved in Mirror's Edge2? Haven't heard anything about it till right now. I've heard about it. If true I wonder why she's involved. It's not like she was involved in Mirrors Edge 1, and she's not an expert on the industry or anything. A curious choice to get her involved indeed. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.

Shallow Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Also can I just say it feels weird as **** to be a part of the group that is the topic and/or chesspiece involved in the latest charity dispute or social justice cause? It's like holy ****, **** off and let me/us say what I/we want. Just because you're the minority of the week doesn't mean they'll actually care about you should you say something they disagree with. If you say "THE PATRIARCHY TOOK MY LEG! DONATE TO MY PATRION! DEATH TO GG!" you'd probably get applause, if you said anything that didn't fit into their weird white male guilt/superiority complex they wouldn't listen to you. Look at Hotwheels, he's basically a midget in a wheel chair, it's not like they bow to his will. Cause first, people the cause is for second. Speeches might make normal people distance themselves from the SJWs, trolling might earn you some sweet Patreon money or at least be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 That AbleGamer just manages to confuse everyone now, it seems. But kudos to BruceVC if he actually donates to orphanages of children whose parents had AIDS and helps rape victims.

Zoraptor Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Seems most likely that AbleGamers got DDOSed in much the same way we would be if Obsidz announced that KOTOR 3 (exclusive to Windows Phone) and BG3 (exclusive to Wii) were in simultaneous development but PoE development had been handed over to Double Fine while Bethesda and EA were buying them out in a joint venture. They were likely to be getting hammered by (perfectly legit) page requests from both sides of the argument, so it's most likely they just got hundreds or thousands of times their usual requests and the service provider nuked them until their bandwidth resets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghagh Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Looks like some people had enough. NeoGAF whined about a new character being added in Tekken 7 (Lucky Chloe) that is a young girl dressing as a cheerleader with cat ears and paw gloves and they proceeded to spam the Twitter of Tekken Producer Katsuhiro Harada (including violent threats). Not sure how this is any worse or better than half of Tekken's characters. Harada wasn't amused by getting bullied over it. His response? The character is being removed from the international release of the game and he said he will add a character NeoGAF will like. His example? A white, male, muscular skin-head. Obvious implications there about the state of NeoGAF. Still, not coming to take away our video games etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Well, what do you know. An anon from Harvard Faculty has taken a look at Anita and GG: http://gamergate.me/2014/12/behind-the-patina-sarkeesian/ Despite sciolistic posturing about ills traced to patriarchy in Western civilizations, Sarkeesian enjoys far laxer academic scrutiny and far more media acclaim, the sycophantic, often panegyrical, and nearly always smarmy push of coverage from the credulous herd of journalists on their pet idol of the hour forming the core of her widespread propaganda. //edit: I love how Harada shows the middle finger to those whiners at NeoGAF.

Blarghagh Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I don't have an archived link right now so you'll have to find it yourself, but FemFreq's Jonathan McIntosh's old website from 2003 was discovered. He was a right wing extremist. Remember the way Aluminiotroxid (I'm so sorry I butchered your name there) explained Redpiller terminology as right-wing MRA truthers, essentially?

Blarghagh Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 A supposed Harvard Faculty member wrote a scathing takedown of Feminist Frequency that I had to had a dictionary on hand for: http://gamergate.me/2014/12/behind-the-patina-sarkeesian/ It's telling that this person chooses to remain anonymous to prevent harm against his or her family. I find it interesting that #GamerGate is accused of wanting to censor non-standard voices when nobody is able to speak against its detractors without worrying about death theats. To be fair, it also takes potshots against GamerGate at some points, but hey, we deserve some criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
